TCUK Homes

About TCUK Homes

TCUK Homes is a subsidiary company of Changing Lives. We are a registered housing provider, established to provide affordable quality homes for people in housing need.

We provide homes for people who might otherwise struggle to access private rented or social housing tenancies due to a lack of availability or affordability.

As a landlord, we are able to improve living conditions for vulnerable people by offering a secure long-term tenancy as well as providing a quality home.

Our homes

We have around 140 affordable rental homes in Northumberland, Newcastle, Gateshead, North Tyneside, South Tyneside, Sunderland and Durham.

Our properties are let at below market rent, to provide truly affordable homes to people that need them. We also have 45 units at our supported housing project in Chester-le-Street for people who benefit from supported communal living, as well as a 3 bedroom property in York which is used to provide accommodation to homeless people.

Our vision and objectives

TCUK Homes is an ethical landlord and accommodation provider. Like our parent organisation, Changing Lives, we’re passionate about helping people achieve their goals and personal potential.

Our vision is ‘to help people in financial hardship to access good quality affordable homes to rent and thereby help to relieve poverty’.

Improving communities

By bringing empty homes back to life, we improve the outlook for local neighbourhoods, with fully refurbished and occupied homes replacing neglected, vandalised and abandoned properties.

We work in partnership with agencies such as the Homes England and local councils to make best use of the existing housing stock in their areas.

We have a Community Standard which means we aim to keep the neighbourhood and any communal areas clean and tidy. We also work in partnership with local councils and the police to tackle and prevent anti-social behaviour.

My life is amazing. I have a beautiful, healthy daughter, a great home and a job. My dream would be to work for Changing Lives. I feel I need to give something back to the organisation that helped me during a nightmare period of my life.
